We urgently your help fellow autistics and allies to have a conversation about the violation of disability and human rights among autistic Africans in the form of abusive practices through westernised ableism and neocolonisation that is being indoctrinated
To African parents, therapists and other professionals working with autistic children and adults in Africa
The level of misinformation of autism is becoming rampant in Africa thus furthering the abuses, stigma,ableism we see from a daily basis as a result
The Western kind of ableism that is practiced on vulnerable autistic people that was originally done in the 60s to describe autistic children as objects or broken people that need fixing
That kind of approach is now being in African countries including Kenya
As we prepare for world disability day next month, my humble request as an autie is to share this tweet with everyone as we need your help in combating human and disability rights abuses on autistics in Africa. Please spread the word
